I am recovering at home on oxygen assisted to help build my lungs. I am grateful I am still here for my children and grandchildren. Not saying this for sympathy, but I have some friends on here and want them to know why I disappeared for so long.
I am not angry or sad, I am a Christian and I have been working thought this with God and some close friends and I am really positive about the future. I know that God has our days numbered down to our last second on earth so no matter trying to 'make' him still be here would ot change at all, not one second more. Only God know our time and hour but I am assured by the fact He does. Probably lots of angry people coming to the 'Celebration of his life' at my church (love that spin instead of being so dark) because we refused to take just 2 jabs as they put it. But I am strong and will never let them push me around.
Anyway all, thanks for those of you who did give great advice. I would love Anne99 to contact me but do not seem to be able to get her she is in NZ I think.
Thanks again Trisha - Job 14:5 - A person’s days are determined;
you have decreed the number of his months
and have set limits he cannot exceed.

Ever read the Book of Job? As a test of Job's faith, God allowed Satan to take away everything from Job, his sons and daughters, his possessions, his livelihood and his health, and spared only his life. Three friends came to see him to mourn with him, and they sat for seven days and seven nights without saying a word.
Finally, Job in his despair wished that he had never been born and brought out many desperate complaints, all the while maintaining his innocence (for he was blameless) and begging for God's answer. His three friends, thinking his complaints blasphemous, began arguing against him, accusing him that all his misfortunes might have been God's punishment for his sins, even though they did not know what sins he may have committed, and he did not commit any. Who were they to judge anyway? Some comfort they are!
Then a fourth witness, Elihu, heard enough and rebuked them all in turn, because he had been expecting wisdom from all of them as they were older but heard non of it. He rebuked them for presuming the greatness of God and for "multiplying words they did not even understand". Then God spoke and rebuked Job for not knowing the ways of the Lord and his great works, and Job repented: then He rebuked the three friends for not speaking of God what is right.
Well, can you not see that you are like those friends in some way? Some comfort you are as frens!
